INTERSECTIONALITY AND FAMILY(DOMESTIC) VIOLENCE

Abstract

In a male-dominated society, feminism refers to movements aimed at safeguarding and promoting equal political, economic, and social rights and opportunities for women. Feminism is defined as the belief in and advocacy for women's equality. Feminism is an ideology that encourages women to be valued for their contributions. It is founded on women's social, political, and economic equality. Feminism may also be defined as a movement or revolution that strives for an equal and limitless world. Pearl Syden Stricker Buck, a Nobel Laureate, was instrumental in the quick growth of feminism in both America and China. More efficiently and positively than other feminists and missionaries, Pearl Buck was able to change American attitudes toward China. She aims to portray the pitiful state of women in her works, particularly through the people who appear in them. In the two novels "The Good Earth" and "The Mother," the present study intends to show the situation of intersectionality and family violence of women in patriarchal Chinese culture, as well as the socioeconomic causes that contribute to it.
